How the Trial Over George Floyd s Death Flipped the Script for Black Victims

MINNEAPOLIS â âHis name,â the prosecutor said, âwas George Perry Floyd Jr.â These seven words were the first the jury heard from Steve Schleicher, a prosecutor, in his closing argument in the trial of Derek Chauvin. With them Mr. Schleicher, standing in a bland Minneapolis courtroom, answered a call from the spirited streets 18 floors below, where protesters, for nearly a year, had been shouting a simple demand: Say His Name. Over the course of the three-week trial that ended last week with a murder conviction for Mr. Chauvin, a white former police officer whose victim was Black, race was rarely an explicit topic of discussion. And yet the presence of the Black Lives Matter movement, which demands that all Black people be seen for their full humanity, was felt throughout the proceedings.

Real change

Real change Would Derek Chauvin, the former police officer, be on the streets today without the video? The answer to that question – not the jury’s verdict – is the true indicator of how much progress has been made since George Floyd’s death. Chauvin being found guilty on all three charges of murder and manslaughter is a relief. But relief won’t bring Floyd back. And that’s why even a guilty verdict was never going to be sufficient. The goal has to be preventing the next George Floyd from happening. During Monday’s closing argument in Chauvin’s trial for the killing of Floyd, prosecutor Steve Schleicher repeatedly instructed members of the jury to believe their eyes.

Can America s police brutality problem get fixed with insurance? It s time officers are made to face more accountability both in the courts and in their own wallets. Demonstrators are detained by Atlanta Police during a protest, Saturday, May 30, 2020 in Atlanta.Brynn Anderson / AP April 23, 2021, 9:30 AM UTC It shouldn t surprise anyone that minutes before Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all counts, a 16-year-old Black girl in Columbus, Ohio, died after being shot by a police officer. This is still America. If high-profile trials are not curbing the daily shootings of people in this country, maybe high liability insurance premiums will.
